Happy Birthday Weekend for a Special Boy

Lightning will turn 8 on Saturday, May 4th.  We decided to let him celebrate the whole weekend.


Lightning wants you to know that he is a happy boy despite his injury.  Mom and Dad are doing everything they can to keep him that way.  We will give you an update on his situation next week. We want to enjoy his big weekend.

We want to share a few special photos of the Birthday Boy.

The first time we saw you, courtesy of this photo from the breeder.



And another from that nice lady who let you come to be with us for your forever home.


Froggy Legs - Lightning can't do this any more with his knee injuries, but at least we have some photo memories.



 Too cute for words!!!



 Lightning and little Ms. C, our dancerella.


 Family shot: Lightning, Angel Ciara, Angel Thunder, and Angel Phantom



And another: Angel Ciara, Lightning, Angel Thunder, and Angel Phantom 



And then another family shot!!!


And today!!!


Happy Birthday, Mr. Lightning!!!

We love you, Big Brother.  We know we pester you all the time, but that is just because you are such a wonderful brother and have taught us both so much.  We are hoping you will be out playing in the yard with us soon.

Lightning, I  am the Newbie around here.  I know you are just crazy about me because you sit and stare at me all the time.  I hope you enjoy my birthday song for you.

Lightning, we also have some special wishes for you from two very special friends and their human - Dougie, Zoey, and the ZH (Zoolatry Human) Ann.

Wasn't that just so special?  The lovely ZH Ann keeps our blog looking beautiful.  She helped Mom out on very short notice by creating these beautiful cards for our special boy.  And then she added one more from her Dougie Dog, and Zoey.  Lightning and all of us are so appreciative of all you do for us. Ann.  We want to send you gentle hugs and our sympathy on the loss of your sweet Maggy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND from all of us, LIGHTNING!!!

Woos - Misty, Timber, and Mom

  26. What a wonderful post. The wonderful memories with those angels who I remember so very well. And little Lightning with them. What a cute puppy you were Lightning. Can you hear the Aws coming from Colorado? And you are such a sweet big brother - the glue that brings together the generations and teaches those youngsters what they need to know.

    Happy Birthday sweet boy. We all love you!
